An unforgettable sunrise over a sea of sand and rolling savanna.
About This Area
The Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park offers a dramatic landscape: an active, still-smoking crater, a 10 km² sea of volcanic sand, and green savanna plains reminiscent of the African plains. Villas in this area typically sit in slope villages such as Tosari or Ngadisari, where night temperatures can drop to 5-10°C — ideal for families seeking a real escape from the city.
